Speaking of the tasty restraunts in the Furano, Furano French (フラノフレンチ), Furano Hotel (フラノ寶亭留), Kumagera (くまげら), Furano Delice (フラノデリス) and Yuigadoxon (唯我独尊) are popular in particular. I ate buckwheat foods at the Yuigadoxon and Sabor, and those were tasty. By the way, a bus stop that Furano Bus "Express Lavender-go (ラベンダー号)" runs between Asahikawa and Furano is near here.

Omelette Curry Rice of Yuigadoxon

Omelette Curry Rice (オムカレー * Omu-curry) is a dish poured curry sauce over an omelette and is famous as a local dish in Furano, and more than 10 restaurants serve it. Yuigadoxon (唯我独尊) is one of those restraunts. I heard that the omelette curry rice of the Yuigadoxon was very popular, and I visited here. There is a building at a central part of Furano. I visited here around 15:00 on weekdays. Still many visitors lined up in front of an entrance. Of course a parking lot is approximately full, too. A building was a log house and reminded me of "From The North Country (北の国から)". It was like a secret base, darkness gave their restraunt personality. There were some tables, so family customers seem to enjoy. But lines will be expected at lunchtime. Article is here

It is said that 2 Ninguru families live in this forest. The ninguru means shrunk human, and is a dwarf with around 15 cm in height that appears in the book "Ninguru" written by Mr. So Kuramoto (倉本聰) that has become a synonym for Furano. They are set wise people of a forest living in the hidden place of Hokkaido. Speaking of the dwarf, the dwarf with a height of less than 1 m called "Colobockle (コロポックル * mythical Ainu dwarf god)" is famous in Hokkaido, and I guess that the Ninguru similar to the Colobockle.

Entrance of Ninguru Terrace

Visitors can enjoy forest bathing or the tweet of birds while looking around. In a summer, you had better use a mosquito repellent. The site is not large, so it takes less than 30 minutes to look around. Watch your step because of very uneven wooden boardwalks. Here was a shooting place for famous television drama series "From the North Country", and Mori-no-Rosokuya (森のろうそく屋) that Ms. Yukiko worked at, Chu-Chu-no-Ie (チュチュの家) and Mori-no-Kajiya (森の鍛冶屋) seem to be popular.
